Minor/Repaint: Royal Nemisis G1 Optimus Prime full package

Well first off i am sorry for the pics i had to rush when shooting them. this was made for one of my buddies he pitched ideas and i designed those idea's into reality it was a very rewarding project in that respect.

a couple of things the jet pack was a second meaning it was one i cast that would have been thrown away or used as parts. i asked him if he wanted it as a bonus and he said yes. another thing this thing has allot of battle modes and i forgot to photograph some of those. the fists are not painted to match because he had his own pair so i did not need to make those.

SHORT BIO of royal Nemesis prime

unlike regular Nemesis prime this guy is 100% self aware and works by his own motives. like Nemesis prime he was created by the decepticons to combat the autobots, however almost immediately upon being brought online he was rebelling against megatron feeling he was far superior to megatron. not wanting to battle the whole decepticon army he decided to disband and await his chance to take over at a later time. also mauler (rollers sadistic cousin) is also fully self aware but shares a symbiotic relationship that prevents him from disbanding from nemesis prime. he is nemesis primes pessimistic friend that holds him back sometimes.

if someone would like to make a better bio for him i would gladly accept it and appreciate it.

thanks dsn1014 , plowking, and scarnivac i knew people would like that part.

Good job. If it were a tanker it'd be a transforming version of the Juggernaut from Deathrace. I like it!

yeah i never liked the official version. on this one because of the gold grill and purple got nicknamed sir Pimptimus Prime. i actually made a NY licence plate that said big pimpin but that never got used.

That bio is neat, maybe tweak the wording a bit. That is so nice. The sadistic roller puts it over the top.
Excellent work.

thanks man i am fishing for help on the bio if you wanna take a stab at it go for it there was so many aspects i did not cover in it.

Excellent work, just for the fact that you used the G1 Prime for this (not seen that many G1 Nemesises, personally), and you did the trailer and a Nemesis Roller... then there's the armour - which looks killer in bot mode - add-ons like the Energon axe, the overall paint scheme... great stuff!

As you said, just a shame you couldn't get sharper pics to really do it justice

Wow! I was expecting another "Prime painted black and red" repaint. VERY impressive. The armor is great, especially for making a 1984 figure so new!

mauler the base was made from a pair of optimus prime legs with an extra wheel added and the mud flap cut off. i also covered them with thin styrene.

the main body was made from an ultra magnus trailer piece then the side rocket launchers, claw and radar dish are cut from the crane battle platform thing from inside the trailer. the chrome rockets are from g1 dinobot slag. the forward cannons are from deluxe movie brawl these have up and down movement with the cover plate moving in tandem with it. the top cannon is from something i do not know what maybe a ko gi joe vehicle. i just drilled a hole in the top for that to peg in. the main body is held to the base via peg and magnet. thanks for asking mauler was almost as much work as the whole thing

OMG..Just saw ur reply. WTH. You must have spent heck loads of time on Mauler. I'm thinking of something similar for Prime but I wanna start on something smaller. Heheh..Not that pro yet. And, I think that's it's real nice of you to make one for your buddies.
